Merchants in all lines complain of the difficulty they are experiencing in get­ ting in their fall stocks. Almost all say that the wholesalers are shipping orders short with the promise of filling them later. This is of course due to the fact that all country merchants are buying heavy stocks. A McHenry county lawyer called up- on to speak at a public dinner said:' "This is quite unexpected; in fact, when I came into this room I felt much like Daniel in the lions' den. When Daniel got into that place and looked 'round, he thought to himself, "Whoever's got to do the after-dinner speaking, it won't, be me!" An exohaage says that a Woodstocl policeman arrested a sleep walker a few nights ago who had wandered away in his night clothes. "Surely you are not going to lock me up, " said the sleep walker.

It is the introduction of a registered label forw*npon all packages of butter, and is intended to serve as a guarantee that th& article is neither butterine, nor oleomargcajfaae, nor an impure article. The statement is made by an officer of the Dairy union that the dabel plan is not one to promote the sale of any par­ ticular brand of butter. "It does not matter who makes it, where it is made, or who sells it, the retailer can obtain the trademark labels," he said. "These labels will be procured from the wholesaler or creaJhery man for his customers. We will make a charge to the manufactures or wholesalers of say 25 cents per 1,000 for them. The fund thus created will be used to pay for printing, advertising the trade-marked label through the daily papers of Chi­ cago so that the public may become fa­ miliar with it, and to pay the rewards of­ fered and expenses of future prosecu­ tions of persons making or selling the adulterated product. Thus a fund will be provided and the expanse distributed equitably among those interested in pure butter, as the basis upon which whole­ salers and creamery men will furnish late'.s to retailers will he one to each pound of butter, the labels going right along with the shipment. "As these guarantees will cost the re­ tailer nothing, he will have no excuse for not applying one to every purchase of butter. If any nuinb#r refuse to give this wholly proper guarantee to their customers we shall advertise in the daily papers the names of retailers who are careful enough about their business and the interests of their customers to he willing to guarantee that they give them what they pay for. GAINOR A FREE MAN. Jimv RETURNS A VERDICT C ̂ WOT GUILTY. 1 : Affer"Beta*"<*ut For Sixteen Hours the Jury pronounces the Words That Make* Gal nor a Free Man. On Monday Sept 11, the special term of court was opened at Woodstock by Judge Fuller, of Belvidere. Immediate­ ly upon opening court the case of The People of the State of Illinois vs. Rich­ ard Gainor, charged wi% murder, was called by the judge. The first move made by the attorneys for the prisoner was to file a special plea to the indictment setting up the former conviction of Gainor for man­ slaughter, which was promptly over- frilled by the judge on the ground that a defence of that kind if good was admiss­ ible under the plea of not guilty. The work of securing a jury immedi­ ately commenced at five o'clock on Mon­ day evening the jury was completed as follows: Fred Tanner, D. A. O'Brien, E. i F. Ben wick, T. F. Collins, Joseph Con­ nors, A. D. Hastings, Win. Anbery, Henry Block, H. Gruenwald, Warren1 Prickett, S. L. Hart and J. H. Turner. The opening statements of the counsel on both sides was also made before the adjournment of court on Monday even­ ing. On Tuesday the entire day was consumed in the taking of testimony, which proved conclusively that the blows-that caused the death of Mrs. Gain­ or were inflicted by the defendant and that she had been subjected to ill treat­ ment from the defendant many times, and also that as a rule, these family dis­ turbances occured when Gainor was in­ toxicated to a greater or less extent. When court opened on Wednesday morning the arguments of counsel to the jury commenced and consumed the en­ tire day. States Attorney Lumley in his opening statement in behalf of the prosecution argued that the evidence showed a willful, deliberate murder and that the jury should find the defendant guilty of that crime, claiming that,, the ^ r\ ...

At Elgin twenty- one of the leading patrons and owners of large dairies have left the condenser and will sell either to W. H. Hintze or the Illinois Creamery company. A telegram from New York states that at the New York factories the prices paid are $1.40 per hundred pounds for three months, $1.80 for two months, and $1.35 for March. It is said that before the committee went to New York, the price was fixed here at $1.25 for three montM, $1.30 for two, and $1.MP for March. The contracts show that the figures for January and February had been raised from $1.20 to $1.35 thus i' is supposed the visit of the committee secured a 5-oent raise for two months. : The VnlTOMdlRt Church.

Last Monday Dr. Wells cloeed ne­ gotiations for the lot located on the Northwest corner of Elm and Green Streets. This is the most desirable lot in McHenry. The purchase was made from John Kennebeck and one hundred ten dollar gold pistes were paid for the cfUQA, •• re­ former conviction of man-slaughter was HO bar to the prosecution for murder. He was followed by Attorney F. R. Jackson, who made an eloquent appeal in behalf of the prisoner, claiming that the crime was only man-slaughter and having once been convicted of that crime the prisoner must be acquitted. Attorney C. P. Barnes spoke from 10: 80 a. m. until the noon adjournment and resuming his address at 1:80 continued the same until between 8 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon His effort on behalf of the defendant has seldom been equalled in our court, and his orillianey of speech and perfect knowledge of the law proves his ability and efficiency as a criminal lawyer. He is acknowledged as one of the brightest lawyers in northern Ill­ inois and the manner in which he con­ ducted the defense in this trial will ver­ ify this statement. States Attorney Lumley followed and in his closing address to the jury elo­ quently argued that unless the jury found the defendant guilty there would be a great miscarriage of justice, and vividly pictured to the jury the ill treat­ ment and suffering'of Mrs. Gainor. No one can claim that in this trial the states attorney did not discharge his full duty in trying to secure the conviction of Gainor. Mr. Lumley's entire address rang with truth and carried conviction to all who heard him. He was at bis bent all through this case and fought a good fight, and it is no discredit to him that the jury went against him. The jury retired about six o'clock on Wednesday evening and were unable to agree on a verdict at any time during the night, bnt between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock on Thursday morning they reached a verdict of acquittal, which was returned into court at 9 o'clock, and as soon as rendered promptly thanked you could ing of the ler said tha presen guilts; 1897, he In speak- Ful- evidence been Gainor plead have sentenced theflSisoner to the penitentiary for life, but that under the law Gainor could not be convicted the second time. He also said that the reason justice had miscarried in this case was lMM*ut*e Judge Dunn of Chicago had seen fit to usurp the province of the supreme court of Illinois and release Gainor without any right to do so. Judge fuller thereupon discharged Gainor, who is now a freeman, although two years have not elapsed since the date of his sentence to the penitentiary, and thus ends one of the most noted murder trials that has ever been held in McHenry Connty.
